Trump Edges Past Biden in Polls Amid 2024 Election Showdown
May 6, 2024In a recent online poll, former President Donald Trump leads President Joe Biden by a 2-point margin as the 2024 election approaches.
Trump's lead is attributed to voters' confidence in his ability to handle major issues such as the economy, inflation, crime, immigration, and foreign affairs.
Despite trailing on policy issues, President Biden is considered more 'personal favorably,' and is viewed as more 'honest and trustworthy' than Trump.
The poll indicates Biden's approval rating at 35% and disapproval at 57%, while Trump has a retrospective approval of 44% and disapproval of 50%.
In a broader five-way race including third-party candidates, the Biden-Trump preference remains consistent with the two-way race dynamics.

The upcoming election is portrayed as pivotal for American democracy, with both candidates emphasizing the significance of the outcome for the nation's future.
